St. Louis, Missouri, Workers’ Compensation Lawyers

Why Hiring a St. Louis Workers’ Compensation Lawyer is Important

Many individuals are injured on the job in St. Louis and get taken advantage of because they do not know their legal rights or feel pressured by their employer to not exercise their right to workers’ compensation benefits. All of our lawyers have worked in the construction industry and understand that this pressure is real. The truth is that if you do not exercise your legal right to benefits, then you are placing your health and your family’s financial well being at risk.

What many workers don’t understand is that most injuries are now covered under work comp including occupational disease, occupational exposure, inhalation, hearing loss, vision loss, carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, repetitive trauma, sudden accidents, and many other injuries.

Do not listen to your boss when they tell you that you don’t have a case. They are usually wrong. Workers’ Compensation is your right that was created by the Legislature and established in 1926. You should not be ashamed for exercising your rights to workers’ compensation.

St. Louis Division of Workers Compensation

The St. Louis Division of workers’ compensation is one of the largest division courthouses in the state of Missouri dedicated to work comp. More injuries were reported in the combined St. Louis County and St. Louis City area in 2015 than anywhere else in the state. The Missouri Department of Labor reports that for 2015, Employers in St. Louis City reported 5,684 injuries and 19,757 in St. Louis County. Employers are required to report injuries to the Department of Labor. An Employer’s report of injurydoes not provide you any protection.
